For those who have intensive firewalls... turn them off otherwise this won't work! I've given that advice to two folks so far with good results. Note: remember to turn your firewalls back on. Jill |

The most current property we're hoping to get is only 1.1 miles from where we're at now. Our original target date was in September. We'll be lucky now if it's December. Luckily, they can easily build year 'round out here. The housing and land market has gone completely insane in AZ. Many properties are being sold via lotteries. Where the national housing incrase for last year was around 13%, AZ was 43%. At this rate you might move before we do! :-) -- Wayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 |

I found out that if you turn on the satellite or hybrid view, you can pretty much pinpoint your house. It doesn't always work though, as some places haven't really been mapped yet for the imagery.

My town used to be home to a missile silo, so the satellite image of the town has been reduced to a bunch of solid blocks of color. Bob |
